General Motors Invests $500K To Improve Arlington Assembly Plant
ARLINGTON (CBSDFW.COM) – General Motors is investing more than $500 million to improve its Arlington assembly plant, which means more jobs are on the way. GM is dedicating $200 million to a stamping facility that will press out components of the company's upcoming line of new full-size SUVs, the Chevrolet Tahoe & Suburban, GMC Yukon & Cadillac Escalade.
The last shipment of massive equipment for the stamping plant arrived Friday. A 19-axle hauler delivered a large component of the plant's final stamping press; the last of four massive shipments to complete GM Arlington's new, 400-ton stamping presses.
The shipment started with a 550-mile trek from the Port of Houston through several communities in the sate. UAW-GM stamping plant employees whose jobs rely on the equipment, according to GM Arlington spokesperson Donna McLallen, happily greeted the drivers of the hauler.
The plant is located at 2525 East Abram Street in Arlington, TX.

To investigate further, Schimmel collaborated with colleagues at TSRI in California and Florida, HKUST (including at the IAS), the San Diego biotech company aTyr Pharma (which Schimmel co-founded), Stanford and the Hong Kong biotech company Pangu Biopharma (an aTyr subsidiary).
Using advanced, sensitive techniques, the team identified nearly 250 previously unknown gene-transcript variants of AARS in different human cell types. These variants, known as splice variants, are alternative assemblies of the discrete sequences of information (exons) contained in AARS genes. Genes frequently contain multiple exons that can be spliced together in alternative waysthus in principle enabling a single active gene to encode multiple proteins with different functions. But the new findings suggest that evolution has been unusually prolific at creating AARS splice variants.
Potential New Class of Drug Targets
The team's further investigations revealed that the new AARS variants often are produced only in specific cell types such as brain or immune cells and/or appear only during certain stages of development.
Remarkably, most of the new splice variants lack entirely the standard "catalytic domain" that supports protein translationconfirming that they are not directly involved in that fundamental process. Initial screening of the biological activities of these variants hinted at a diversity of other functions. One variant selected for analysis turned out to be a powerful driver for the proliferation of muscle fiber cells in a laboratory di

The current economic crisis has made getting a home loan a lot more difficult. Credit has tightened, and banks are requiring that potential homebuyers put more skin in the game. One of the ways that banks are doing this is by requiring larger down payments from home buyers.
Too many home buyers bought homes with little to no down payments during the home buying boom. Today, banks are asking homeowners to put down 10-20% of the home's buying price. This may come as a surprise to many new home buyers. Don't worry! Here are six ways to come up with your home down payment.
IN PICTURES: 7 Tips On Buying A Home In A Down Market
- FHA programs
The FHA has programs that will benefit state employees who choose careers that fill a void. Teachers, law enforcement officers, firefighters and medical technicians are eligible for discounts on home ownership.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development offers a Good Neighbor Next Door program that will allow state workers to buy a home for 50% off of the list price. All homeowners need to do is live in the house for three years to be eligible for the discount. The house must be their sole residence. That's a pretty good perk for working in a respectable profession.
- State Programs
The FHA doesn't have the market cornered on assistance programs to new homeowners. States have programs to make home ownership more affordable to lower income and moderate income buyers.
For example, the state of Georgia has the Georgia Dream House Ownership program which offers assistance to lower income borrowers. States like Ohio offer down payment assistance grants for new graduates, which will fund you 2.5% of the home's purchase price. Many states have similar programs.
- Retirement Plans
One of the few occasions when it acceptable to take a withdrawal from your retirement plan is when you are buying a home. You can use up to $10,000 in funds for your first home purchase from your IRA, penalty free. Taking the money out of your 401(k), on the other hand, is a bit trickier. You can take a hardship withdrawal, but you will pay taxes on the amount that you withdraw and pay a 10% penalty. You can take a loan out from your 401(k) but you will have to repay the loan with interest. (To learn more, see Can My Spouse And I Use Our IRAs To Purchase Our First Home?)
- Extra Income
Taking a part-time job is a great way to save up the money for your home down payment. Or, you could ask to work overtime at your job for a few months until you have enough saved. You could do odd jobs around your neighborhood, such as painting, pet sitting or landscaping. All of these jobs will have you on your way to homeownership in no time.
- Gifts
Gifts are great, because they are a free form of money that you never have to pay back. Now is the time to hit up the Bank of Mom and Dad. Remind them of all the times that you cleaned up your room growing up and helped out around the house. This may put them in the gift giving mood. If not, see if relatives and friends want to contribute to your home buying quest. You just may find that Uncle John and others are more than happy to kick in funds to see your real estate dreams come true.
- Loans
Did you fail to convince Mom and Dad to give you the down payment for free? Another option is to ask them for a loan. Write up a contract and agree to repay the amount of money that they lend you. The best part about borrowing money from your family members is that it's more convenient and they do not have to run your credit. Just make sure to repay the down payment as agreed upon. Who knows? They may even let you borrow the money interest free!
The Bottom Line
As you can tell, there are a number of alternatives that can make your home buying dream a reality. You can get help with getting in your first home by investigating all of the alternatives available to you. Good luck and happy house hunting! (For more, see Are You Ready To Buy A House?)

Hi again.
Thank you very much for willing to help and for your suggestions.
Unfortunately, this work method is not possible with our way of work... we both shoot rapidly, at the same time and we both need the flashes to be available for us constantly (yes, we use 2-3 flashes on the dance floor).
Unless I find a unit that could work as transmitter only, I understand these are simply not the right choice for my line of work.
such a pity, I was certain I finally found a decent piece of radio....

SBI Raising Bills on Credit Card Never Delivered
A reader of our Financial Planning and Consumer Advisory Services has written his plight on how SBI GE Credit Cards division has duped him. The intent is to serve this as caution advisory on Banking Practices in violation of the RBI Guidelines.
SBI has started sending me statements charging fines on fines for the credit card which was never delivered, even when I had paid for it. They had forfeited my reward points without giving me any intimation and kept on lying that scheme continued when there was no scheme. Imagine when a complainant is a simple common man who can pursue with you or them, he must be ending up paying them extortion money to buy peace making them rich and comforting you. SBI Cards are the people who don't think there is any consumer law in the country and they firmly believe that they can arm twist people and extract Read the rest of this entry »

Pure Sensia internet, DAB and application radio
Pure is aiming for the October release of the Sensia to reinvent radio once again as the hub of home life. The wireless internet connection, music streaming and now the addition of applications take the company's devices one step closer.
Pure told Pocket-lint that although there has been no contact with the likes of Spotify, Pandora and last.fm on third party apps for when the SDK launches, they would certainly welcome them.
At the same time, the company feels quite happy to be without such providers as well, confident that Pure could produce its own content stream with a paid-for service in the same way.
The Sensia will RRP at £250 and is available complete with RF remote control in black, yellow, white and red.

"Peace and religious harmony come about through taking action, not necessarily through making prayers and good wishes. In order to carry action out, enthusiasm is very important, and enthusiasm comes from being clear about our goal and the possibility of our fulfilling it. Here, we need educate young people about our ultimate goal, peace in the world, and how to fulfil it by cultivating inner peace within themselves." - Dalai Lama

BMI View: Egypt is only just beginning to recover from the political instability seen in the country over the previous three years. On top of this, regional violence and strife have added a further deterrent to would be investors. Instability is also keeping away tourists, negating one of the most powerful drivers of the Egyptian economy. Nevertheless, holding an important position within regional culture and with demographic trends on its side, the country's economy continues to move forward, and there are many signs that the real estate market may be turning a corner.
Political upheaval, first the overthrow of long-time dictator Hosni Mubarak in 2011, followed by the removal of the democratically elected president Mohamed Morsi, has led to economic stagnation and flight of foreign capital. In recent quarters the government has done much to reassure investors of the stability of Egyptian investments, such as the announcement that foreign oil companies would be paid all monies owed then though a EGP10bn loan secured by the national oil company.
Although 2014 has been a relatively stable year for post-revolution Egypt, the same cannot be said for the wider Middle Eastern region. Fighting has continued in Syria, while a new sectarian thread has emerged in Iraq in the form of the Islamic State (IS). Saudi Arabia was rocked by a terror attack against a Shi'ite religious gathering. At the same time a dramatic drop in the price of oil has made many Middle Eastern economies more vulnerable and less dynamic, further reducing incentives for foreign investors.
Nevertheless, there are signs that foreign direct investment is cautiously turning towards the Egyptian real estate sector once more. A number of Egyptian real estate developers have reported significant year-on-year rises in profits and revenue. Egyptian developer SODIC saw its market capitalisation reach a new high for the first time since the revolution after posting a 14% rise in y-o-y profit in Q2 2014.
One reason investors are anticipating rising property values is due to rising inflation expectations. Another cause to be positive on the sector is the basic demographics in Egypt. The country has very young population, with many young adults expected to enter the work force and start families over the coming decade. The country is experiencing rapid urbanisation, but still has a relatively large rural population that has yet to embrace an urban lifestyle.
Another trend driving property developments is the migration of many Egyptians out of Cairo's city centre and into the outskirts and suburbs of the city. This is fuelling rapid development of commercial and retail real estate in these cities to meet the needs of new residents, in addition to the residential development required to house them.
Recent Developments:
SODIC has estimated the value of its 2014 investments at EGP2.5bn, and announced plans to invest a further EGP2.4bn in 2015. The company's managing director is quoted as saying he sees the beginning of a strong recovery in the real estate market, and is actively looking for new projects. The company's planned projects include a GBP310mn mall in Mansoura and a new 1.3 million square metre project in the Cairo suburb of Heliopolis, set to begin construction at the end of 2014.
E-Finance announced that its new EGP70mn, 6,000 square metre headquarters, under construction in Smart Village in the outskirts of 6th of October City, should be finished in May 2015.
The retail space market in Cairo saw several new offerings come online. The Galleria 40 in West Cairo opened its doors in Q3. Leased units there are currently dominated by foreign firms and the Food and Beverage sector. A further 364,000 sq m of retail space was scheduled for completion over the final quarter of 2014, including two super regional malls: Citadel Plaza in Mokattam and Madinaty Mega Mall in New Cairo.
Key BMI Forecasts:
We forecast rents for office space in New Cairo will remain flat in 2015, but will likely increase 5% in 2016.
We forecast rents for Retail space will remain stagnant across Egypt over 2015.
We forecast rents for Industrial space remain stagnant in all cities over 2015.
We forecast yields for office space to be highest in Giza, at 5-12% in 2015.
We forecast yields for retail space to be 5-8% in Cairo and 6 th of October city, and 5-10% in Giza and New Cairo, in 2015.
We forecast yields for industrial space to 5% in Cairo in 2015.

From bobbysoxers to boxing, from his home to Madison Square Garden, rare and intimate photographs of The Chairman of the Board A dandy, a crooner, and an actor, talented and scandalous, as close to the Kennedys as to the underworld barons, Frank Sinatra fascinates. Coming from a small town in New Jersey, the bad boy married Ava Gardner and conquered Hollywood, starring in more than 60 films and winning an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 1953 for his role in From Here to Eternity. It's thanks to music, however, that his talent gained worldwide recognition. Nicknamed "The Voice" by the international press, Sinatra imposed his unique style and sold more than 150 million albums in his 62-year career. Through a captivating biography and rare and intimate photographs this collection recalls his exceptional journey as a father; as a singer working with such talents as Elvis Presley, Quincy Jones, and Count Basie; as a member of the Rat Pack; on set with Burt Lancaster, Grace Kelly, Bing Crosby, or Steve McQueen; and off set with John F. Kennedy, Ava Gardner, or Mia Farrow.

This book was published to commemorate the 40th anniversary of John F Kennedy's assassination in Dallas on 22 November 1963. The book comprises a meticulous collection of the best photographs of his life - in both colour and black and white - many of which are previously unpublished, together with campaign memorabilia and personal notes that expose the behind-the-scenes story of the youngest man to be elected president. In 304 pages, the volume includes over 250 images illustrating the glamour and success of John F Kennedy's life, from childhood and student days to congress, fatherhood and the presidency, revealing the tragedy of his untimely death. The book also includes a biography, famous quotes, handwritten documents and correspondence, in a celebration of his life. Born 29 May, 1917, in Brookline, Massachusetts, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was the second of a family of nine children. He was named after his maternal grandfather, but soon everyone was calling him Jack. His family was of Irish Catholic descent, with a well established history in politics: his two grandfathers competed over many years for the mayorship of Boston. After graduating from Harvard in 1940, John Kennedy entered the Navy where he distinguished himself as a war hero. When he returned from the war he became a Democratic Congressman, advancing in 1953 to the Senate. He married Jacqueline Bouvier on 12 September 1953 and in 1955 wrote Profiles in Courage, which won the Pulitzer Prize in History. In 1961 he became the first Roman Catholic and youngest man to be elected President of the United States. This is the first book to illustrate extensively the family man as well as the world leader. Its eclectic and wide-ranging compilation of photographs - selected for their power and poignancy - pays an extraordinary tribute to one of the most revered political leaders of the twentieth century.

2012 Summer TV Comedy Preview
Diamonds in the Rough is a documentary that tells the inspiring story of the Ugandan hip-hop scene. Raw and unadulterated, the film demonstrates the ability of hip-hop to spread messages of hope and change against the odds. Contrasted against the bloated commercialism of the US music industry, the film reminds us that music can actually mean something. Enjoy the trailer.
Collecting Space began as a solo studio project by myself. I started writing music in 2006, and really got into recording in 2008. I played on and off with friends and bands up until 2008 as well. I started teaching myself how to play keyboards to add to my songs, and began completing full demos of the songs that made it onto `Subside'.
Early in 2010, Vince and I met through our mutual appreciation of a few progressive rock bands via an online posting, and instantly hit things off. We started working on arrangements of my demos, and brought in my old friend Preston Tamkin on keyboards to recreate the songs for live performance. Fred Holtzclaw came into the fold on bass guitar from a previous metal project that we worked on. Collecting Space started playing live shows in the summer of 2011, and we began recording `Subside' during October and November. The record was released on December 20th, 2011. We will keep playing around Columbus, and hopefully a bit further out in 2012!

This invention relates to the field of programmable remote control transmitters for a consumer electronics product such as a VCR, cable converter, videodisc player, television receiver, or the like.
A trend in infra-red (IR) remote controls for consumer electronics is the multi-brand universal remote control handunit which controls any one of a number of consumer electronics products manufactured by different manufacturers, and utilizing respective different remote control signal code formats. Universal remote control handunits provide the user with the convenience of using only one remote control handunit, while being able to control most if not all of the functions of the consumer electronics products.
To a large degree, the number of different functions and different remote control command signal formats that can be handled by a universal remote control is dependent upon the amount of memory available for IR code storage.
There are two basic approaches to universal remote control handunits. A volatile memory (RAM) based system is often described as a "learning" remote control handunit. This type of remote control handunit requires the user to "teach" the remote control handunit desired functions from his original handunit. This is usually done by switching the "learning" remote control handunit to a "learning mode", and physically orienting the two handunits such that the "learning" remote control handunit can receive the IR transmissions of the handunit to be emulated. This learning process begins as an information storage process, wherein an IR transmission is recorded as it is being received by the learning remote control. After this initial storage of the "raw" data, the raw data is analyzed and compressed, and then the final compressed version of the data is stored. When the universal remote control handunit is used in the remote control mode to transmit a command, the stored, compressed codes are recalled from memory, decompressed and the resulting signal is transmitted.
A nonvolatile memory (ROM) based system is restricted to a fixed set of devices, usually television receivers (TVs), videocassette recorders (VCRs), and Cable Converters. In such a handunit, all of the different code formats for all of the functions of each type of device to be controlled must be programmed beforehand, and these functions are usually compressed in some manner to occupy as little memory space as possible.
With each technique, since memory space is limited, the more efficient the compression technique used is, the more functions can be stored.
A principal of compression techniques is the identification of common features of IR code formats.
An example of IR data compression is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,623,887 (Welles II), for use, for example, in a RAM based system. Welles II observed many similarities in various IR formats, and discloses a data compression method employing the classification of a number of characteristics, including duration of carrier "burst", the duration of "spaces" between carrier bursts, and the time between repetitions of transmission information. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 941,468 (Sogame) filed Dec. 15, 1986 discloses a system which further compresses the compressed data produced according to Welles II, by classifying "burst" and "space" pairs into "bin pairs".
It is herein recognized that there are several other common characteristics or attributes found in most remote control IR code formats which may be employed to produce a significant compression improvement.
Apparatus according to a preferred embodiment of the subject invention utilizing this recognition stores compressed data contiguously in order to save memory space.
FIG. 1 illustrates the partitioning of memory space of a remote control handunit in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 2 illustrates the classification of the components of a typical remote control IR transmission in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 3a illustrates in detail a typical Format Structure (FS) such as those Format Structures shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3b illustrates in detail a typical Compressed Function Table (CFT) such as those shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 illustrates, in block diagram form, remote control handunit circuitry suitable for use with the invention.
FIG. 5a is a flowchart showing a code decompression program suitable for use with the invention.
FIG. 5b illustrates a portion of general purpose memory having FS data stored therein.
As used herein, the term "function(s)" refers to the IR transmission or device action associated with a single remote control keypress. The term "command" is synonymous with the term "function". The term "format" refers to the IR code protocol established by a manufacturer. Thus a VCR of a particular manufacturer may be said to have 10 functions, all of which use the same format. The term "field" refers to a space-burst code pair. The term "brand" refers to electronic devices sharing the same code format which are produced by a particular manufacturer.
A major assumption to be made is that a set of related functions for each device (e.g., PLAY, STOP, RECORD, etc., for a VCR) will be stored in no more than one format, and thus basic format information can be extracted and stored separately for each brand. Storing IR data in the manner illustrated in FIG. 1 provides a great improvement in memory efficiency during data compression. The entire set of compressed data required for each brand is composed of two parts, the format structure (FS), and the compressed function table (CFT).
Each brand must have both of these parts, but many brands can share the same FS, and a few might share the same CFT. To illustrate this point, memory 100 of FIG. 1 comprises an area 110 in which format structure (FS) data for a given brand is stored. The format structure data stored in memory area 110 may be applicable to more than 1 brand (the recognition of which affords an additional memory space saving). A memory area 120 containing a compressed function table (CFT) used by, for example, a Brand A device, is stored in memory immediately following the FS 110 relating to the Brand A device. A memory area 130 containing a compressed function table (CFT) used by, for example, a Brand B device, is stored in memory immediately following the CFT 120 for the brand which is sharing the FS 110. The FS 140 and CFT 150 for a third brand, for example, C, are stored in similar fashion.
As shown in FIG. 2, an IR transmission is composed of some form of digital envelope that is used to modulate the desired carrier. This envelope consists of a finite and limited number of alternating carrier bursts and spaces. The carrier bursts and spaces can have many different durations (or "widths"). Alternatively, instead of modulating a carrier with the space/burst pairs, the space/burst pairs can be transmitted directly. This type of transmission is said to use a non-carrier format, wherein the envelope is, by definition, the transmission itself. Many formats are initiated by a specific sequence of a burst followed by a space, called a MARK-SPACE sequence (hereinafter MARK-SPACE), which is the same for all functions of a brand. The number of cycles of the carrier burst corresponding to the MARK and the duration of the following SPACE are stored in the FS portion of memory for a given brand (e.g. see 312 and 314 of FIG. 3). (Those formats with no MARK-SPACE may use this memory in the FS for other information). The subject compression technique now assumes that remainder of the envelope can be reduced to a string of sequential of space and burst pairs. Each space/burst pair is called a field, and consists of coded information which contains both the duration of the IR burst (in carrier cycles), and a countdown value which is used to generate the IR space. An IR space is an absence of burst cycles for a specified time. The countdown value is used to control the duration of the desired space. Typically one byte (8 bits) is used to store the burst, and one byte for the space, or two bytes for each field. Thus, the data representative of each type of field used by a particular brand is stored in the FS portion of memory for a given brand. Any IR transmission can be identified as merely a sequence of fields.
FIG. 3a illustrates the contents of a typical FS portion of memory 300. The contents of the FS portion of memory define the characteristics of a particular IR code format. It comprises some fixed number of constants including encoded information indicating such things as number of bits per field (BPF) 302 (actually the number of bits of a field pointer), number of different fields (NDF) 304, IR carrier frequency (FRQ) 306, fields per command (FPC) 308, spacing (usually given in milliseconds) between repeated transmissions (RPT) 310, and timing data 312-332 concerning burst and space widths.
The FS also contains information concerning the initial burst of carrier in carrier cycles (SYNC) 316. This information is assumed not to change for any function within a brand.
As to the IR carrier frequency, the following is noted. Due to the availability of electronic parts, and the nature of IR system design, this frequency is usually in the tens of kilohertz range, and, being generated by simple oscillators, is often one of a subset of about eight "common" carrier frequencies. A microprocessor can simulate any of these with accuracy sufficient for the intended IR receiver, either through using its own clock and a divider, or by simple bit-toggling (as will be shown below with reference to FIG. 4). Note that this definition includes non-carrier formats which use the spacing of bursts of IR (usually on the order of tens of microseconds) to carry information. In these cases, the burst width is considered a constant. FIG. 3b shows a portion of a compressed function table (CFT) for a format in which there are 3 bits per field (BPF) and 2 bytes per command (BPC). The compressed function table (CFT) consists of a block of memory 340-346 which contains a set of compressed field data in the form of address "pointers" to locations in the FS where the field data is actually located for all functions of a particular brand. An inventive feature is that the field pointers are stored sequentially, across byte boundaries in order to save memory space.
Each "pointer" (3 bits in this example) points to a single field stored in the FS. For example, the three bits of field pointer 0 (F0) of function location 342 point to the corresponding memory area containing memory locations 318,320 (FIG. 3a) which define field 0 in terms of duration of the space and number of burst cycles following the space. In this example, function location 342 comprises 2 bytes of memory (i.e. bytes per command (BPC)=2).
Bits per field (BPF) in general, is the number of bits which must be stored in the CFT in order that each of the fields of the FS portion of memory can be addressed.
For example, with 3 bits per field, 8 fields (i.e. 0-7) can be uniquely addressed. It is important to note that if BPF were not stored, then each field pointer memory location in the CFT portion of memory would need to be the same fixed number of bits in length, and the fixed number of bits would have to be set to the number of bits necessary to access the FS memory having the greatest number of fields. Most likely this number would be set at 8 bits for convenience, since 8 bits constitute an easily addressable byte of memory. However, if a format needs only 3 bits per field pointer, the extra 5 bits of space reserved would be wasted. By storing the bits per field (BPF), the field pointers stored in the CFT may be "packed" together (i.e. stored contiguously) across byte boundaries (as shown in the detail 342 of FIG. 3b), thus conserving memory space. The controller accessing the CFT memory "knows", by virtue of the stored BPF, exactly how many bits to read out for addressing each field stored in the FS memory.
As noted above, the FS memory contains data which defines each of the fields used within a given brand. Each function (i.e. command to be transmitted) comprises a unique combination of fields selected from those stored in the FS. Thus, in order to form a particular sequence of fields in preparation for an IR transmission, the field definition area (e.g. 320-322 of FIG. 3) of the FS memory is addressed by a particular sequence of pointers stored in the CFT. In other words, the CFT does not, per se, contain information about the burst cycles and spaces to be transmitted, but rather contains pointers to the locations in the FS memory where that information may be found.
The number of different fields (NDF) used by any IR format varies. Many formats use only two different fields, while others use as many as twelve. However, within a given format this number is constant, and is stored in memory location 308 in the FS portion of memory 300 and is used to find the start of the CFT portion of memory, since the CFT portion of memory immediately follows the FS portion of memory, and is therefore 2 x NDF memory locations after the SYNC CYCLES location in memory 300 (See FIG. 3). Another constant stored in the FS portion of memory is the number of fields that compose each function, or fields-per-command (FPC) 308. In practice, FPC may vary anywhere from 5 to 32 fields. Note that the total number of functions of a format cannot exceed NDF X FPC functions, and is usually much less. A set of equations which may be useful in understanding the invention is presented below in TABLE 1.
Although the number of bits (BPF) allocated in the CFT to point to each field and stored in FS memory location 302 might be assumed to be equal to the minimum number of bits necessary to address each of the different fields, this is not so in all cases. A BPF value greater than that required to address all of the different fields is sometimes provided to allow pointing to fields that do not exist. This is done because some IR formats keep total transmission time constant by changing the number of fields per function (i.e. by varying the FPC). That is, in these formats, when a transmission comprises fields having long durations, then fewer fields are sent. The present compression technique compensates for this by allocating the maximum number of fields used by any function for the particular format as NDF for the entire format (i.e., for each function), and "pads" the difference with field pointers larger than NDF. Thus, upon decompression, there are two ways to terminate a transmission: either transmit the FPC number of fields, or encounter a field numbered greater than the value of NDF. Note that by storing NDF, it is unnecessary to store a "trailer" value to indicate the end of the field storage area.
In addition to the above, several other memory saving factors are herein recognized. For example, the information stored in the FS can be bit-mapped into a small number of bytes, that is, the data in the FS can be stored contiguously as it is in the CFT portion of memory. In many formats, the complement of a message is also sent for error checking. In this case a complement indication (flag) can be stored, and pointers to the complements eliminated from the CFT for efficiency of storage. These complements can be generated for transmission at decompression in response to the stored complement flag.
An apparatus, for a remote control handunit suitable for use with one embodiment of the invention, is shown in FIG. 4. A controller 400 may be a microprocessor (the terms microprocessor and microcomputer as used herein have the same meaning).
Controller 400 receives, from clock oscillator 410, clock signals which establish the timing of the functions of controller 400. Controller 400, in accordance with its programmed instructions, addresses a memory 420 which may or may not be internal to controller 400. Memory 420 includes a general purpose (or scratch pad) area 422, an area for storing the above-mentioned FS data 424, and an area for storing the above-mentioned CFT data 426. Controller 400 also receives data entered by a user via a keyboard 430 comprising a group of keys 432 including digit keys 0-9, a channel up key, a channel down key, and a power ON/OFF key. Keyboard 30 may also include a switch for entering the above-mentioned "learning mode". This switch is shown on keyboard 430 as a key 434, however, it may be a separate toggle switch located elsewhere on the remote control handunit. In the illustrated embodiment of FIG. 4, key 434 is assumed to exhibit "toggle" characteristic. That is, one pressing of key 434 causes the learning mode to be active, and a second pressing of key 434 returns the remote control handunit to the normal remote control mode, wherein user commands may be sent to the controllable devices.
When in the learning mode, IR receiver 440 receives IR signals transmitted by the remote control handunits to be emulated, and provides digital data representative of those IR signals to controller 400. Controller 400 stores the "raw" (i.e. uncompressed) data in general purpose memory 422, extracts the format structure representative data and stores it in FS memory 424, and compresses the command-related data into compressed function data and stores it in the CFT memory 426.
When in the normal remote control mode, and when a transmission of a command is desired, controller 400 decompresses the stored function data and passes the data to an output unit 460 which assembles the proper sequence of bursts and spaces for transmission. Clock oscillator 410 also proves signals to a frequency divider 450 which provides lower frequency signals to output unit 460. These lower frequency signals are gated into the data stream in output unit 460 and form the burst component of the data stream which is applied to IR diode 470 for transmission.
In the alternative, frequency divider 450 may be eliminated, the burst pulses being generated by controller 400 by "toggling" an output rapidly.
In ROM based systems the compression algorithm is not performed in the remote control handunit, but rather was performed at an earlier time in the factory in order to generate the FS and CFT codes for programming into a ROM. In this case, IR receiver 440 and "learn mode" key 434 could be eliminated from the remote control handunit.
Decompression and transmission of the stored remote control function data will now be explained with respect to FIGS. 4, 5a and 5b. When a user operates the keyboard 430 of remote control handunit to transmit a command to a selected device, controller 400 under control of a program stored in program memory (ROM) 402 sets a pointer to the appropriate command to be issued and enters the portion of the program shown in flowchart form in FIG. 5a.
As a matter of programming convenience, it is desirable to always copy the FS to be addressed into the same "working space" in general purpose memory 422 (step 515). A portion of the copied FS is illustrated in FIG. 5b, and is addressed by a pointer (also known as an index). It is also convenient to always copy the relevant function code from the CFT portion of memory to the same "working space" in general purpose memory 422 (step 520) in preparation for decompression.
The period of 1 cycle of burst is fetched (step 525), and the MARK value is also fetched (step 530) from the FS. If the MARK value not zero, then a transmission must include a MARK component (as shown in FIG. 2). The burst value is fetched (in this case the MARK value), the number of cycles needed to generate the proper length MARK is computed and the MARK transmitted (step 570).
In the event that the MARK value is equal to zero, then the transmission would start with a space. This is done by clearing the index (step 540) which points the index to the SPACE portion of the copied FS. The index is loaded during data decompression with field numbers from the copied CFT function. The index value is doubled (step 545) to ensure that the index points to a SPACE at the beginning of each field. For example, field number 3 begins at the sixth storage location because each field includes a SPACE memory location and a Burst Memory location. The space value addressed by the index is fetched from the FS (step 550) and examined to see if it is zero (step 555).
It is herein recognized that additional memory space can be conserved by storing the square root of the desired SPACE duration rather than storing the SPACE duration itself. Thus, in step 560 the value stored in SPACE is squared before being loaded into a SPACE duration timer (step 565). The SPACE duration timer may be a software function within microcomputer 400, or may be a hardware timer either within or outside of microcomputer 400.
When the SPACE period has expired, the BURST value stored immediately following the current SPACE value is fetched and the proper number of cycles transmitted (step 570).
The function field pointer (which is pointing to the field numbers (e.g. Fφ,F2,F2,F1,Fφ of the copied CFT function) is incremented (step 575) and checked to see if it is equal to the number of Fields Per Command (FPC) (step 580).
If the function field pointer value is not equal to the total number of Fields Per Command, then the next field number is fetched from the copied command (stop 590).
If the fetched field number is greater than the total Number of Different Fields (NDF) (step 595) then this number would point, when doubled, to a non-existent field. In this event, as mentioned above, the transmission terminates, otherwise the newly fetched field number is doubled (step 545) (to point it to the proper FS memory location), and the transmission continues.
TABLE 1______________________________________Bits per Field (BPF) = INT (log2 (NDF - 1)) + 1 (1)Where INT means "take only the integer portion of theresult. ##STR1## (2)FORMAT STRUCTUREFS = BPF + NDF + FRQ + FPC + RPT + MRK +SPC + SYN + 2 � NDF (3)= 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2(NDF)= 9 + 2(NDF) bytesCOMPRESSED FUNCTION TABLE (CFT) = BPC � N (4)where N is number of functions ##STR2## (5)______________________________________
Where Efficiency of Storage is expressed in bytes/function.
Subtracting 1 bit from the product of BPF X FPC in equation (2) prevents the crossing of byte boundaries from affecting the calculation of the value of BPC, and thereby prevents an unnecessary increase in the value of BPC. Using the "INT" function rounds the result to a whole number of bytes, and adding 1 byte ensures that BPC is always greater than zero. This constant is useful in decompressing the CFT, and rather than storing it, it can be calculated at decompression time. For N functions, the size of the CFT is BPC�N bytes.
While the invention has been described with reference to an IR remote control handunits, the scope of the claimed invention is intended to encompass ultrasonic remote control handunits as well.
The decompression routine illustrated in the flowchart of FIG. 5a is equally applicable to a RAM-based (learning type) remote control, and the scope of the claims is intended to encompass both learning and non-learning remote control handunits.
